I am borrowing this from my friend Heidi Jessica's site. Heidi is a superwoman, leading the way for Childhood Cancer Awareness. Her beautiful daughter Jessica died three days after her 17th birthday, June 9th, 2007.  Jessica and Hannah share the same birthday. If you have a moment, please go and visit Heidi's Brain Tumor Wall of Courage. Heidi is an amazing designer, and it's definitely worth taking a look at. It's incredible and Hannah's picture is included too!

MAY IS BRAIN TUMOR AWARENESS MONTH!!!! GET YOUR GRAY ON!

Please visit this link for very important information regarding the National Childhood Brain Tumor Prevention Network Act of 2009, and what YOU can do to help!!

First off, last night I added new designs to the Wall of Courage store. I had a TON of requests for "Adult" designs, so I created a new section for Adults (Father, Mother, Uncle, Aunt, Grandmother/Father, etc.). While I have wallofcourage.com listed on the Kids' designs, I used grayribboncrusade.org on the adult designs. I figure maybe we can plaster the whole world in gray for the month of May. Well, not literally ...

I also added "I HAD a brain tumor" to the "myself" designs (used to be only "I HAVE a brain tumor" and well ... thankfully there are many warriors out there who can use the past tense!) :)

Also, for those interested, proceeds from the sale of these products will be distributed among the following:

Jessica C. Randall Memorial Scholarship Fund
Children's Brain Tumor Foundation (http://cbtf.org)

The Brain Candy Project (http://www.braincandyproject.org -- The foundation that ^Cameron^ and his father started to help other families dealing with childhood brain tumors.)

Jacob's Smiles (http://www.jacobssmiles.com -- site not functional yet, but you can read up on Jacob's smiles on his Caringbridge.)

and, pending: Aimee's Army (http://aimeesarmy.org -- ^Aimee^ is the sweet young girl whose "ribbon kids" design was the inspiration for the May Gear.)

Thanks for checking in with us, and let us know how you like Heidi's designs. I hope to see you out and about in gray during the month of May!

ps to the Griffins, I wanted to email after the Sox swept the Yanks right out of town, but we haven't recovered yet :)
